The eternal fight between Pierre and Hans: aesthetics vs functionality.
All the numbers have lebensraum.
How shocking: the spelling of a number system based on 1+20 rather than 20+1 makes the distribution of the numbers’ first letters spread out extremely evenly!
Now do it with ours
I just think it’s interesting that Three is second last alphabetically.
We are using the correct way of numbering, just like our forefathers intended. Even the ones that went the other direction during the migration period and ended up in Persia and India count the right way.
English used the same method:
Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie.
It’s still too irregular, it’s burning my autistic brain
Balanced, as all things should be.
Maybe I misunderstand, but shouldn’t deux and dix be on the same row?
Now do it with the last letter and you’ll get the exact opposite
Germans invented blue noise before Mitchell’s algorithm
